Saudi Arabia restarts East-West oil pipeline, sources say

SINGAPORE/NEW DELHI, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has ‌restarted operations at ‌its East-West Pipeline and could ​resume exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu later on Tuesday, ‌three sources ⁠briefed on the matter said.

The pipeline ⁠was pumping at a low rate, two ​of them ​said.

State ​energy firm Saudi ‌Aramco did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Drone attacks forced Saudi Arabia to ‌shut its East-West ​Pipeline on ​September ​13, halting crude ‌loadings at the kingdom's ​Yanbu ​port.
